VANILLA ICE CREAM WITH CARAMELIZED HONEY NOODLES AND WALNUTS
Serves 6 prep time: 1 hour
Oh boy!! It has been so long since I wrote a blog. I sure missed it. And I am glad to be back.
This particular recipe has got me back from my cocoon. It's simple, elegant yet made up with so much texture and crunch.
This dessert finds its roots back in China. But I remember having it at The Dynasty( a quant Chinese restaurant on sv road Santa Cruz Mumbai) when I was in college. They served it with toasted sesame seeds. But I like mine with caramelized walnuts.
I won't take much of your time and will head straight to the recipe.
